Version:

Using a binary package

For production purposes, we recommend
official binary packages.
You can choose from two Tarantool versions: 1.7 (stable) or 2.0 (alpha).
An automatic build system creates, tests and publishes packages for every
push into a corresponding branch (1.7 or 2.0) at
Tarantool’s GitHub repository.

To download and install the package that’s appropriate for your OS,
start a shell (terminal) and enter the command-line instructions provided
for your OS at Tarantool’s download page.

In the request box.cfg{listen=3301} that we made earlier, the listen
value can be any form of a URI (uniform resource identifier).
In this case, it’s just a local port: port 3301. You can send requests to the
listen URI via:

Switch to another terminal. On Linux, for example, this means starting another
instance of a Bash shell. You can switch to any working directory in the new
terminal, not necessarily to ~/tarantool_sandbox.

Start the tarantoolctl utility:

$ tarantoolctl connect '3301'

This means “use tarantoolctlconnect to connect to the Tarantool instance
that’s listening on localhost:3301”.

Try this request:

tarantool> box.space.tester:select{2}

This means “send a request to that Tarantool instance, and display the result”.
The result in this case is one of the tuples that was inserted earlier.
Your terminal screen should now look like this:
